Texas coach Mack Brown declined to say whether the Alamo Bowl against Oregon on Dec. 30 will be his final game. “My situation has not changed,” he said at a press conference in San Antonio. Brown is expected to meet Friday with new Texas athletic director Steve Patterson and school president Bill Powers about the job he’s held since 1998. Meanwhile, Francisco Cigarroa, chancellor of the UT system, says Powers should keep his job despite acknowledging a “strained” relationship between the two. Powers is a Brown supporter.

The father of San Jose State freshman Rashad Muhammad pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit federal fraud in Las Vegas.

Even before leading the United States in a difficult first-round group at next year’s World Cup in Brazil, Jurgen Klinsmann was signed to stay on as coach for the 2018 World Cup. The U.S. Soccer Federation said Klinsmann agreed to a four-year contract extension. Klinsmann, 49, took over in the summer of 2011 after Bob Bradley was fired. “I’m very fortunate to continue the work we started more than 2½ years ago,” he said. “It’s exciting to see the progress we’ve made.”

The U.S. is 27-10-7 under Klinsmann and qualified for its seventh straight World Cup. In last week’s draw, U.S., Ghana, Portugal and Germany were grouped together. Klinsmann won the 1990 World Cup as a player with West Germany. He also coached Germany from 2004-06, leading the team to a third-place finish in the 2006 World Cup.

The 2014 MLS All-Star game will be against German club Bayern Munich on Aug. 6 at Jeld-Wen Field, home of the Portland Timbers. The All-Stars will be coached by the Timbers’ Caleb Porter.

The Oakland Raiders six-game winning streak ended and they fell out of the pole position in the AFC West with a 21-13 loss on Thursday Night Football to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bay Area News Group’s Jimmy Durkin and Mark Purdy break down the loss from Kansas City, Mo.

The Raiders did not play well, Derek Carr did not play well, his receivers did not play well, their special teams did not play well… and this was the franchise’s largest game in over a decade, so it’s a big deal when so many key parts under-performed in such a big moment tonight in Kansas City. And it’s a big...

Carr had the worst game of his young three-year career, at least statistically and probably overall. He completed just 17 of 41 pass attempts for 117 yards and zero touchdowns, giving him a passer rating of 49.1. In the football statistical world, that is the equivalent of playing Jeopardy and having Alex Trebek take away your buzzer. There were other...

The Raiders and their fan base have every right to be frustrated by a 21-13 loss to the division rival Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a more difficult road, but every goal the Raiders had going in to the game is still on the table
